I keep telling people that if "private" owned companies that control huge amounts of public communications are allowed to censor speech, then governments will exert back door pressure to force them to censor speech which these governments don't approve.

If "private" owned companies that control huge amounts of public communications are forced to allow uncensored speech. Then you would have to accept Democrat Underground disruptors swamping FreeRepublic with their filth. All things are relative and you're damned by degrees.

Invariably someone brings up "Free Republic."

Free Republic is a club. It is also not a significant carrier of public speech. It is a private club that isn't open to the public, and it very likely has less than 1 million users.

Also, you need to understand where this existing status quo is going to go if it is allowed to remain as it is. It's going to slowly move the entire nation into totalitarian socialism.

Allowing Google, Facebook, Twitter and other people to control public speech is an existential threat to the nation. If we let these existing conditions continue, we will lose our country.
